Wild weather walloped Wellington on Monday, as 1,300 aftershocks rattled the country. […]

Sunday’s major earthquake in North Canterbury has triggered  more than 100,000 landslides, blocking roads and destroying bridges.

“Utter Devastation” Caused by Kaikoura Earthquake

The cost of Kaikoura Earthquake is expected to top 2 billion dollars

Up to a hundred thousand landslides, including numerous dams, are thought to have formed as a result of earthquake.

Powerful aftershocks continue to plague the disaster areas.

A similar size quake striking Central Auckland could kill at least 100,000 people and inflict $300 billion in damage to property and infrastructure.

Our advice to YOU and all intelligent people in Wellington area
1. There’s a frighteningly large buildup of tectonic stress energy right under your feet.
2. RUN while you’re still alive, before the next exodus bottleneck makes it impossible to flee the danger zone.
